This is a review of our 5th \u201cBackgammon Proficiency Test\u201d conducted from May 2015 to April 2016.<\/p>\n

Looking back upon the past year, we provided our 5th test with Masayuki \u201cMochy\u201d Mochizuki and Michihito \u201cMichy\u201d Kageyama throughout the world, at JBL Ouisen Tournament<\/a>, Chicago Open<\/a>, the World Championship<\/a>, Japan Open<\/a>, Istanbul Open<\/a>, Nordic Open<\/a> and so on.<\/p>\n

We had 114 testees over the past year, and we are deeply grateful to all of them for joining us. The average score was 23.4 (out of 50) increased by 2.4 points as compared with the former test. Also, the average errors (equity loss) was 3175 pulled down by 566. Those may show this test become slightly easier than the former one.
